This past winter, however, has really presented quite a bit of a challenge to our life here in the valley. Day after day, we have either been drenched with rain or if not raining, the sky has been covered with thick, gray clouds, and if mud had any kind of pecuniary value, we’d have become millionaires many times over.

Today’s news is welcomed and appreciated, but it would seem there is still work to be done to help restore trust and end the cycle of deceit perpetrated by FirstEnergy and their allies.

Voters need more than shout shows from old idols in a campaign year. An election year is supposed to be a chance to consider not just candidates but ideas. Just what we gain from a civil contest becomes clear when we look at the presidential election that took place a century ago.

Here’s the question that Democrats have no answer to: If the border can be shut down when more than 5,000 illegal immigrants cross per day, then why can’t it be shut down immediately, right now?

The correct number of illegal aliens that should be admitted daily is zero. 

The question in my mind is this: In this age of disrespect, will Colorado respect the decision of the Supreme Court?

The same week Joe Biden publicly confused two European leaders with their deceased predecessors and passed on the traditional softball Super Bowl Sunday interview, a new report from Special Counsel Robert Hur described the president as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

One thing, though, is becoming clear: Many of those volunteers and businesses are not pleased with the city's lack of transparency on the Shaffer Park decision. To the best of my knowledge, this issue has not been discussed in open session with members of Hillsboro City Council. The mayor never formally announced Gregory's hiring at a council meeting. Why not? For a new $58,000 city position, shouldn't city council – and the city's residents and taxpayers – be informed?

You ask: If Trump loses votes based on a guilty verdict, where would these voters go? Biden wouldn’t get many, if any. A portion could stay home and not vote, which hurts Republican candidates down ballot.

Ronald Reagan, who was born 113 years ago this week, occupied the Oval Office when I arrived in Washington as a correspondent for the San Jose Mercury News. The president was also from California, and many of his key advisers, so even though the White House was not (yet) my beat, I often wrote about the personalities and policies of the administration.

Transforming the Grammy stage into an epic showdown against division, Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs came together for a duet that was as unexpected as it was awesome. On the surface: Chapman, known for her powerful songs about justice and equality, joined forces with Combs, a country music star, to sing “Fast Car.” But it wasn’t just another performance. Instead, it was a declaration: Despite all our differences, there’s something special that can unite us all.

Remember, their goal was to hurt you badly, and destroy who and what you are. So, finding ways to laugh while you go on successfully with your life is great revenge. Because they lose. 

More than four years after the outbreak of the COVID virus in Wuhan, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may finally face responsibility for its actions in an American court.

Erich Eischen is unique. According to Federal Election Commission data, he is the only person who lists his employer as a college or university in the United States who made a contribution of $1,000 or more to Donald Trump's presidential campaign so far in the 2024 election cycle. Such donors are a dime a dozen for President Joe Biden.

To qualify as a first-rate American political scandal, the escapade should include three juicy elements: sex, money, and the abuse of power. Fani Willis and Nathan Wade hit the trifecta.
